Last 5 years (?) everyone's been making websites where when you scroll down new stuff fades in. It's so counterproductive and distracting and it makes me so mad so mad so mad.

What is this called? Where's the blog post explaining how much it sucks that I can send to people who use it?

Just learned tennis scoring; thanks @pte.bsky.social.

I thought the terminology was overcomplicated, until I saw that it turns an infinite state-space of scores into a finite one.

Q1. Is this bisimulation?
Q2. Generalize: Which winning-score sets A, B ⊆ ℕ² can be tracked with a finite # of states?

turned on radio in car and it feels like matrix revolutions when the matrix is just all smiths (iheartradio stations). if a kid looked at it theyd be like oh duh i see why radio died. the new medium reduces the old to a shell to magnify its superiority, make its victory retrospectively preordained

as someone who never had braces (is this relevant?) i'd like if more restaurant bathrooms had toothpicks. or floss? floss picks would be good but the plastic waste feels unconscionable. you see them on the sidewalk so often!
